It always surprises me when I hear someone say they don’t like sweets.  I just don’t get it.  They are tasty and delicious.  What’s not to like?  Still, there are those out these who simply do not like sweets. 

This post is not for you.

Cookies have to be one of my favorite desserts.  And I am not prejudiced when it comes to cookie selection.   Oatmeal Raisin?  You bet.  Ginger Bread?  Yes, please.  Chocolate Chip? (insert cookie monster sound).  You get the point. 

Still, my absolute favorite cookie has to be Mr. Sugar.  I know, some may think that is a little boring.  A little plain  Jane.  Well, those of you who think this way have obviously not met my sister-in-law, Jane Dough.  Jane makes THE BEST sugar cookies (apart from my wife, of course).

Jane made some of her famous sugar cookies a few weeks ago (above) and, as always, they failed to disappoint.  What makes these so scrumptious is the perfect consistency, which all aspiring cookie monsters know is a critical component to true cookie satisfaction.  These are the perfect blend of soft and crunchy.

As you can see, Jane Dough is also an extremely accomplished cookie decorator. Now, there are some sugar cookie purists out there who prefer plain or sprinkles.  As I mentioned earlier, I am not a cookie hater.  I can appreciate a good iced cookie and, believe me when I say this, these were a some delicious iced cookies.

It would be impressive enough if all Jane Dough did was bake phenomenal cookies but, in actuality, her talents are many.  She is also a budding designer/artist and founder of Smile Giggle Laugh, a wicked cool Etsy site with all sorts of goodies.  Check it out.  And while you are there, go ahead and order something.
